In 15 minutes, Cochran, clad in a yellow rain jacket,made his rounds
among the 20 or so people gathered to see him. The room was mostly empty
and the energy was low, but those gathered looked on admiringly and
paid their respects. The senator has largely avoided the media, even fleeing from CNN cameras earlier this week, and has refused to debate his challenger, state senator Chris McDaniel....

There will be a fast move in Republican circles to push
"comprehensive immigration reform," to go all-in now. I can't tell you
what the Republicans think they're gonna achieve, except this: I really
do believe that some of this is oriented toward driving the
conservatives out of the party. I really think some of this is oriented
toward the Republicans actually seeking to get rid of their
conservative base.

Even if it takes 15 years in the wilderness to rebuild a new base of
people who don't embarrass them, of people who are of the right
temperament. Maybe that's what they're willing to do. Maybe they've
got commitments from their donors to keep 'em afloat if they just get
rid of some of these wacko right-wing extremists. "We'll just go all-in
here. We'll try to put together a new base of really responsible
moderate, temperate, independent-type American voters.

"We'll go out, we'll expand our demographics, we'll get a lot of
Hispanics doing this,by throwing away the Tea Party, and we'll get a
lot of women voters coming back. We'll throw away our base, and we'll
get the transgender and the lesbian, gay, bisexual groups, we'll go out
and get the Indians that are ticked off at the Redskins. We'll get them!
We'll come out against that, and pretty soon we're gonna own the
country."

That is the way they're thinking, and all they gotta do to bring all
that off? All they gotta do is throw away their base. That's Christmas
morning for 'em.Now, the Democrats never stop whipping up their base.
Have you noticed? There's never any pressure on the Democrats to get
rid of their base, and you never hear Democrats ripping in their base.
You never hear the Democrats acting embarrassed -- and believe me, their
base is genuine Looney Tunes....

is interesting
coming from a leader who declares himself to be on a mission to elect
conservatives. The conservative bona fides continue to erode when your
stated motive is to give a documented pork grabbing politician a
firm grasp to the purse strings of the country.

The entire inside of the mailer - which was made as part of a
program, YG Network officials said, that was issues-focused on energy
and conservation - is about Lugar's education record, an issue that
tends to poll well with swing voters and moderates. But attacking
Mourdock as "extreme" is going to sit poorly with conservatives.

There have been murmurs for the last several days that donors to
establishment groups like the American Action Network, which Alex
reported earlier canceled its ad buy supporting Lugar, were unhappy with
the way the money was being spent, since a number of them have
privately saidthey think Mourdock is the favorite at this point."

Daniel Horowitz comments on treachery of GOP urging democrats to vote against Tea Party Republican in 5/8/12 primary:

"Another America-hating foreign Muslim demanding political asylum, and
then getting arrested by the FBI for consorting with other Muslim
terrorist political refugees who commit multiple murders in the name of
jihad.

Sure, he’s innocent until proven guilty, but the facts
are this: Khairullozhon Matanov took the Tsarnaev terror twins out to
dinner on the night they killed three people and wounded or maimed 260
others at the Boston Marathon.

Already,
the left-wing media are trying to defendtheir new poster boy, despite
his lack of “tousle hair.” The same outlets that never mention when a
vicious murder is committed by an illegal alien now assure us that this
Matanov was in the U.S. “legally.”

Oh yes, and he will be needing a public defender, because he’s “indigent.” Aren’t they all?

In
the indictment, the feds charge that Matanov didn’t see what the big
deal was about the marathon bombings because “everyone must eventually
die.”

Funny, that’s exactly how I feel about his dear pal,
Tamerlan “Speedbump” Tsarnaev. Not to mention Speedbump’s fellow
jihadist who the FBI capped in Orlando with six shots to the body and a
final coup de grace to the head.

Matanov loved to take walks with
his buddy Speedbump where they talked about how much they admired the
“mujahideen.” He told friends he had no problems with the murderof
innocent Americansif “the attack had been done by the Taliban.”

One
final question: Why does this vermin want to come to a country they so
loathe? Answer: They don’t have welfare in Kyrgyzstan." via Lucianne. Image: "TSARNAEV PAL: Khairullozhon Matanov, shown in a Facebook photo, has been charged with obstructing the marathon bombing probe." via Boston Herald

"Conservative Party Leader David Cameron is trying to sabotage UKIP’s
influenceat the European Parliament, just days after trying to appear
sympathetic to euroscepticism by telling the British people that their
message at the polls was “received and understood.”

Last weekConservative MEP Daniel Hannan was in Denmark telling
Copenhagen television that the Danish People’s Party (DPP), which sat
with UKIP’s group in the outgoing parliament, would now be welcome to
join in the Tories’ Europe group at the European parliament.

Yet in 2009, Conservatives rejected an approach from the DPP to join
their group, “because of their unacceptable views in a number of areas.”

The DPP is anti-immigration, anti-EU and anti-multiculturalism.
Members of the DPP have in the past likened the headscarf worn by Muslim
women to the Nazi swastika and “comparable to other totalitarian
symbols.” In 2002, Morten Messerschimdt, MEP for the DPP, was convicted
along with three other members of the DPP’s youth wing of incitement to
racial hatred.

In 2005, when the Swedish government castigated the Danish government
for tougher laws on foreign spouses being allowed to live in Denmark,
the then-leader of the DPP, Pia Kjaersgaard, responded to Swedish
criticism by saying: "If they want to turn Stockholm, Gothenburg or
Malmoe into a Scandinavian Beirut, with clan wars, honour killings and
gang rapes, let them do it. We can always put a barrier on the Oeresund
Bridge."

Meanwhile the Tories also find that they now are willing to sit
alongside the eurosceptic Finns Party which has described immigrants as
“parasites on taxpayers’ money” and suggested ethnically Finnish women
should have more babies. They have called immigrants “asylum tourists.”

While Cameron’s move might enrage the so-called Tory moderates, Nigel
Farage will be enraged, too. He already faces the prospect of another
member of his group, the Italian anti-EU Lega Nord, leaving UKIP’s group
to join the Front National of Marine Le Pen and the Dutch People’s
Party of Geert Wilders, two right-wing, anti-EU parties with whom Farage
has said UKIP will not sit.

For example, in the 2012 budget, UKIP and the MEPs from ten other
countries in the Europe of Freedom and Democracy group, had an
allocation of more than €2.5m, with €881,000 still in the bank carried
over from the previous year’s grant. This was on top of all the expenses
individual MEPs were given to run their offices, research and travel.

By contrast, the giant pro-EU powers European People’s Party (EPP),
from which Cameron removed the Conservative MEPs in 2009 as a sop to his
party’s eurosceptic wing, was allocated €21m.

Last year, Conservative Party activists slammed
UKIP for considering a coalition to keep the Tories out of power in
Norfolk, but the Conservatives seem to have adopted these very same
tactics as animosity between the two parties shows no sign of relenting.

The Thurrock Gazette reports
that in the Essex town where UKIP picked up five seats (three
Conservative, two Labour), the Tories and Labour are now in talks over a
"grand coalition" which seeks to lock UKIP's six councillors out of the
decision-making process.

It had been noted when the results came in last week that UKIP may
now hold 'kingmaker' status in the council. But representatives of the
23 Labour and 18 Conservatives members "had anticipated a Ukip surge and
were discussing the prospect of teaming up ahead of last week’s vote,
which left both Thurrock’s main parties a lot lighter."

One source told the local paper: “I’d lay my money on a grand
coalition between Labour and the Conservatives. Talks have already taken
place and more are planned.”

But the Conservatives may not even get much from the deal, it seems.
The group apparently will not demand senior seats in the council’s
cabinet, but instead will ask Labour to vote for a Conservative mayor at
the annual council meeting on June 11th.

UKIP's newly elected MEP Tim Aker told the Gazette: “I would not put
it past them doing a deal to get us out. We’re used to seeing such
vitriol from the ‘legacy’ parties. You can’t put a cigarette paper
between them.”

"Whatever they do is their own concern. We will have a list of priorities for our residents.”"

The two parties have certainly been the same since the Tories ousted
their only chance, Margaret Thatcher; the same Thatcher who never lost
an election.It seems that Farage has drawn the inevitable conclusion."

==================================

The same is true in the US. Republicans and Democrats are one party, the government party. Their number one goal is to silence right of center Americans.

"With only three days untilthe polls open for the GOP Senate primary
here and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at his side, State Sen. Chris
McDaniel vowed to fight President Barack Obama alongside Sens. Ted Cruz
(R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rand Paul (R-KY) in front of a raucous
audience of thousands.

“I became a Republican when I was 13 years old, not because I knew
anything about policy or philosophy or law,” McDaniel. “But I knew there
was this man—this actor from California. He would look directly at that
TV and it felt like he was speaking to me. My father called me into the
room and he said, ‘son, you’ve got to see this.’ We watched Ronald
Reagan talk about things that intuitively made sense to me. He talked
about liberty. He talked about limited government. He talked about
constitutionalism. He talked about balanced budgets. He talked about
traditional family values.”Reagan, McDaniel added, painted politics in “bold colors, not
pastels” and led “a party of principle, not surrender. Then it donned on
me: I must be a Republican.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, your constitution is not subject to
compromise. I’ve got 17.5 trillion reasons to never again compromise on
the debt. We stand here fighting what I consider to be the worst
president in our country’s history. In this environment, where our
conservative values are being attacked, where our conservative beliefs
are being attacked, where our Constitution is being attacked, silence is
complicity,” McDaniel added.

“Zero!” the crowd shouted, almost in unison. “None!” a woman near the front of the auditorium yelled.

McDaniel—feeding off the energy of the crowd—continued: “Sen. Mike
Lee, he stands and fights for Utah. Sen. Rand Paul stands to fight for
Kentucky. Sen. Ted Cruz stands to fight for Texas. Even a Governor from
Alaska fights for us. It’s time for a son of Mississippi to stand and
fight for us. I tell you, when Sen. Ted Cruz stood there that night and
he laid his soul on the line for this government and for this country,
we applauded him. When others joined him, Mike Lee and Rand Paul, we
knew we had friends in Washington, D.C., finally. Reinforcements are
coming.”

“Now it’s not that Sen. Cochran is a bad person,” McDaniel continued,
cutting through the standing ovation. “I respect Sen. Cochran. I even
like him, despite the attack ads. But Sen. Cochran has not been the
conservative voice we need from Mississippi. When those three men stood
there on the floor of the Senate, Sen. Cochran was not there with them.
He voted to fund Obamacare not once but twice.Republicans look at me
for a second: Are we a party of bailouts?”

McDaniel continued, showing a comfort and command of the crowd he
hadn't previously exhibited on the campaign trail. He vowed to “kill”
Obamacare, impose term limits, and said he would work to enact
the policy agenda of Lee and Cruz.

Added: Cochran is also a good friend of the ethanol industry, voting in 2005 and 2007 to approve and expand ethanol mandates. He had a 100% rating from the ethanol industry even in 2002. Ethanol in turn supports the $1 billion a day imaginary global warming scarewhich after several decades has proven to be nothing more than a way for US politicians to demonize and steal from US taxpayers in perpetuity. Everyone knows China controls global CO2. The US could die off and it wouldn't help global CO2. GOP "leadership" (Boehner and McConnell) won't state the facts because they've spent decades carefully building the greatest scam for stealing US taxpayer dollars in history. Cochran has had daily access to microphones for decades and could've ended this fraud in one day by stating the scientific facts everyone in authority knows but won't scream from the rooftops. Add to this Cochran's support of UN parasites and voting against a border fence twice and he looks like another Dick Lugar. These men want what democrats want. If you call them on it they say, OK, come and get me.

====================

Citation for 30+ years of US taxpayer financing of "global climate action:"

The lead — 46.4 to 44.3 percent — is within the poll's 3.4
percent margin of error. It was conducted by Chism Strategies, which is
owned by Democratic pollster Brad Chism. Chism is based in Mississippi
but has done extensive work across the country. He said he is not
working for any candidate associated with this race; however, Chism did
work with Travis Childers during his 2008 and 2010 Congressional races.

The
sample is 92% Caucasian. The initial survey tabulations over sample
women and older voters. We adjustedfor anticipated turnout of 52%
women, votes under age 45 at 21% voters; age 45 to 54 at 20%; voters
age 55 to 64 at 23% and voters ages 65+ at 36%. The weighted candidate
support total at the top of this page reflects these percentages.

The survey was conducted Thursday night and includes 813 respondents. All respondents were from landline phones.

One
likely knock on the survey — at least from Cochran supporters — will be
that it was conducted by a Democratic pollster. Here's his methodology
for selecting the sample:

These surveys have a three part
screen for GOP primary voter participation. We surveyed only phone
households with a voter participating in all three of the 2008, 2010 and
2012 GOP primaries.We asked each participant to self identify
partisanship and excluded all Democrats and lean-Democrats. We then
screened for probability of voting in the GOP June primary.

Looking
at unweighted results, Cochran leads McDaniel 48 to 42 percent.
However, the unweighted sample includes 69 percent who are 65 years or
older.

To consider that 69 percent of Tuesday's voters will be 65
years or older is out of line, I think to assume that age group will
make up only 36 percent of those voting is too low.

When you
compare this poll to the earlierHarper Polling survey, what you get is
one poll where Cochran has a small lead with a sample that skews a
little old and another survey where McDaniel has an even smaller lead
with a sample that skews too young.

Cochran probably has a slight
lead, but this race is extremely close. It's going to come down to turn
out efforts. Cochran has a team who knows how to turn out votes (I'm
looking at the field teams of Gov. Phil Bryant and U.S. Rep. Gregg
Harper — best in the state for both parties). McDaniel has a fired up
and excited grassroots movement that feels their man has been slighted
by the establishment.

McDaniel's campaign emailed supporterson Thursday afternoon writing
"Can you feel it? The momentum is with us. And I'm honored to announce
that Sarah Palin is coming to Ellisville to support our campaign for
freedom here in Mississippi!"

This remarks are the latest Cochran has provided regarding why he
won't debate McDaniel. First, he and his campaign would not respond when
asked why they won’t debate. Second, in late April, Cochran told the
Associated Press he won’t debate McDaniel because “he’s trying to make
me look bad.” Third, in mid-May, Cochran spokesman Jordan Russell told
reporters—while appearing in Cochran’s place at a press conference that
McDaniel had on the Mississippi State Capitol steps in Jackson—that
Cochran won’t debate because McDaniel, in his words, is a “liar.”

“Why would we put Sen. Cochran on stage with a liar?” Russell said
then. “We’re just not going to do that. We’re not going to dignify
that.”

Over the past few weeks, the Cochran campaign has worked to
capitalize on the blogger scandal—which has resulted in four arrests, of
the blogger and three conservative activists. The District Attorney
involved, while saying no one has been cleared, said he does not believe
anyone from the McDaniel campaign was involved in the matter. On
Thursday, Clarion-Ledger reporter Sam Hall said on statewide radio that nobody else is expected to be arrested in the matter.

McDaniel may be through the worst of the political impact of the
scandal, and he has dollars pouring in to help him from conservative
groups. The race is neck-and-neck, and McDaniel has benefited from some
key endorsements—like that of Rick Santorum, who won Mississippi’s GOP
presidential primary in 2012, and of Jeppie Barbour, the brother of
former Gov. Haley Barbour. In the final days, McDaniel’s got the
momentum heading into election day.

“This isn't a debating society” is the latest unfortunate moment for
Cochran on the campaign trail. He’s twice this year said he doesn’t know
much about the Tea Party movement, has said he’s okay with at least
some national debt, and praised earmarks hinting he’d support the return
of the big spending big government appropriation tool.

CNN’s Dana Bash, whom Cochran snuck away from using a
“bait-and-switch” with two separate vehicles, reported that most of this
behavior from Cochran is part of a campaign coordinated effortto
“avoid unforced errors.”

“This is ‘do no harm’—that is the most important thing for the
Cochran campaign,” Bash said.

"This election season, Republicans led by Senator Mitch McConnell
of Kentucky are taking a much harder line....The goal is to deny them any Senate primary
victories, cut into their fund-raising and diminish them as a future
force in Republican politics.

“I
think we are going to crush them everywhere,” Mr. McConnell, the Senate
Republican leader, said in an interview,referring to the network of
activist organizations working against him and two Republican incumbents
in Kansas and Mississippi....“I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee
anywhere in the country.”...

As previously reported by Breitbart News,
Cochran has repeatedly listed the house owned by Webber as his primary
address on official forms, including several statements of candidacy to
the Federal Election Commission. Cochran's campaign says he lives in a
basement apartment at the address with its own separate entrance.

In December 2012, Cochran's campaignhosted a fundraiser
at the house, charging $500 per person and $1000 per political action
committee, according to an invitation for the event published by the
Sunlight Foundation.

A year later, the campaignheld another fundraiser there,
charging donors $1000 to attend, $2600 to be a personal sponsor, and
$5000 for a PAC to attend. “MS Delegation and All Republican Senators
will be invited,” the invitation, published by the Sunlight Foundation,
said.

Ann
Copland wiped tears from her eyes as she admitted to U.S. District Judge
Richard Roberts that she took the gifts in exchange for helping one of
Abramoff's top clients, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.

Copland
is the latest among more than a dozen congressional aides, lobbyists,
lawmakers and Bush administration officials convicted as part of a
lobbying scandal spawned by Abramoff, a former high-flying influence
peddler now serving a four-year prison term.

E-mails disclosed
in court documents that Copland sent to Abramoff's firm show she was
particularly demanding in what she wanted from the lobbyist. At one
point she sent a long list of ticket requests that included several
concerts, hockey, ice skating and the circus. At other times she sent
e-mails from inside the firm's luxury box seats complaining about the
food and drinks.

Among the e-mails filed in court was one from
lobbyist Todd Boulanger to his boss saying they should go out of their
way to keep Copland happy because "she's more valuable to us than a
rank-and-file House member."

Another e-mail from Kevin Ring, an
Abramoff associate, included a list of events Copland wanted to attend
and how many tickets she wanted for each event. She asked to see singer
Paul McCartney, an ice skating event, musical acts 'NSync and Green Day
and a hockey game. She also asked for two to six tickets to see the
circus, but only if they were floor seats. Abramoff responded: "She'll
get everything she wants."

Copland worked for Cochran for 29
years,then abruptly left his office last spring after Abramoff
prosecutors had netted a dozen convictions in the scandal.

In
Tuesday's hearing, Copland admitted she understood that Senate rules
prohibit staffers from soliciting gifts from lobbyists but still
secretly did so."

Senator Cochran should do the right thing and resign.Did his wife really need to be confined all these years or was it for his convenience and that of his EA girlfriend.Take your EA and go off into what is left of your life.A Senate seat is an honor and privilege and you have forfeited it by your behavior."

"If Thad Cochran wins tomorrow, all ofthe questions that he has avoidedduring the primary will continue to fester in the general election. And
when the answers finally do come out, Travis Childers and the Democrats
will reap the rewards.

These issues aren’t going to disappear if Cochran somehow beats McDaniel
tomorrow. At some point, more people are going to wonder why Cochran
has been so secretive and defensive throughout the election.
